What players say
You can play this even if youre not a Borderlands fan, easily one of the best written Telltale games ever. Its such a shame how they treated the cast of this game in BL3, absolute character assasinations all over. Rhys is genuinely that guy and deserves everything.

Tales from the Borderlands: a brilliant story where your choices matter This is one of the best story-driven games I've played. The writing is sharp, funny, and surprisingly emotional. It starts as a chaotic con-artist adventure and turns into something with real heart, mostly thanks to the two leads, Rhys and Fiona, and the supporting cast around them. The humor lands, the characters are memorable, and the story...
one of the best telltale games that i have ever played and i played the WOLF AMONG US, The game utilizes the QTE mechanics pretty well but the massive points definitely goes to the characters and story which is very borderlands story where everyone started their journey with selfish intent but slowly changing and heading to the vault. The only problem is the game got some visual glitches and no voice and sound...
